Doctor's answer:

For pediatric asthma, the most core treatment method is corticosteroid therapy, which is typically administered via inhalation. For severe cases, oral or intravenous medications may be used, but long-term and high-dose use is not recommended. Secondly, bronchodilators such as salbutamol can quickly control bronchial spasm and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, leukotriene inhibitors and other treatment methods can also be selected.
